6. The Peculiar People of Piffle Park, Chapter 1
So, Mike and Rory wrote a book. It's a weird book. It's a chapter book. It's a weird chapter book. It's a weird chapter book about a strange, wonderful town called Piffle Park where a group of kids helps bring the town together by supporting one of their friends who believes, perhaps correctly, that he is a werewolf.
We think it's a super fun read that all ages can enjoy and we hope you enjoy this first chapter as well as Cecilia's research about werewolves in history.

Let's go back to the 1980's and 1990's with two stories from adults who grew up as latch-key kids. Cecilia explains what a latch-key kid is and friends James and Newf tell stories about getting locked out of their homes.
